“I’m absolutely in love with nature and find that it helps me find peace in the day. I enjoy taking long walks outside, swimming, or just sitting quietly under a tree. I also love hanging out with my little family to include our sweet dog, Bailey, and our two adorable green cheek parrots, AJ & Chili. I also find great joy in learning new things, especially all things mental health.
For me, mental health is all about creating a healthy tension between self-care, doing what we love, and being able to share our unique gifts and talents with others. Authenticity, empathy, and sincere listening help bring these most precious things to life; relational attitudes that I’m deeply committed to no matter who I meet or where I am.”

In maintaining my own positive mental health, I prioritize spending quality time with my wife and children. Applying the therapeutic techniques I’ve learned, I strike a balance between connecting with friends, family, and church community. It is important to recognize that therapists, like anyone, are human. We need to tend to our own mental well-being, ensuring we’re in the right place to assist clients effectively.
Like most therapists, I am often reading books in my free time. While I was once a Master League Starcraft player in college, these days I find myself immersed in the world of Pokémon, a choice influenced by my kids’ fascination of colorful characters. My wife and I enjoy taking the opportunity to explore National Parks and go on other family adventures. We had the pleasure of visiting the sacred grove many times during our time in New York.
